About the Seth Thomas “Calendar No. 6” Clock
The Seth Thomas Parlor Calendar No. 6 Walnut Shelf Clock, a fine example of American craftsmanship, boasts an 8-day time and strike mechanism housed within a walnut case adorned with a cup bell. The clock features a perpetual calendar dial, with the upper dial being a replacement of original painted tin, while the lower dial retains its original patented design from February 15, 1876.
The case showcases a stepped bracket base, reeded pilasters, and a stepped cornice with a scrolled pediment and applied rosettes. The interior of the clock bears an original printed paper directions label. Measuring approximately 14.75″ wide by 5.75″ deep, and standing at 27.5″ high, this piece comes from the esteemed collection of John Auraden of Hamilton & Fairhaven, Ohio.
Another variant, the Seth Thomas Fashion No. 6 Calendar Clock, features a T&S movement and black dials with “Fashion” painted on the door. The clock is housed in a case masterfully built by Dick Broline, with the lower movement and dials being new replacements. Standing at 32 1/8″ tall, this unique piece does not come with a key or guarantee of working order.
Lastly, the Seth Thomas Office Wall Calendar No. 6 Clock showcases a T&S movement, painted metal upper and lower dials, and a walnut case. The pendulum is included with the clock, which stands at approximately 32″ long. However, it’s important to note that the paint on the lower dial is flaking and chipping, and there is no key provided with this piece.
